Robotics Alley, PaR Systems Partner on Manufacturing & Assembly Track
The producers of the 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo turned to automation provider PaR Systems to help develop content for a Manufacturing & Assembly Track.
This year, to highlight innovative uses of automation in todays manufacturing and assembly industries, the producers the Robotics Alley Conference & Expo turned to automation provider PaR Systems to help develop a track specifically on that topic.
The Manufacturing & Assembly Track will include five presentations that highlight ways industrial robotics have evolved in recent years.
Presentations include:
*Advanced Applications of Industrial Robotics, Including Human Collaboration
*Stuart C. Shepherd, CEO Americas - KUKA Robot Group, KUKA Robotics Corporation
*Expanded Use of Robotics in the Production of Critical Components
*Scott Voldness, Director, Engineer - Facilities & Equipment, ATK Aerospace Systems
*Lowering the Cost of Robotics Through Advanced Technology and Software
*Dr. Khalid Sorensen, Control Systems Engineer, CAMotions
These sessions represent a sampling of the more than 30 breakouts attendees will have access to at this years two-day event. Other tracks cover topics including health care, transportation, agriculture, security and defense, and more.
The 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo takes place Sept. 16-17, 2014, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest. Visit http://www.roboticsalley.org/ for more information about the event and to register.

ResinDek® TRIGARD® ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
To maximize the productivity of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) deployment, it's critical to create the optimal environment that allows the vehicles to perform at their peak. For that reason, Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC® (www.resindek.com) created the TriGard® ESD Ultra finish for its ResinDek® engineered flooring panels. The TriGard ESD Ultra finish is ideal for high-traffic robotic applications characterized by highly repetitive movement patterns and defined travel paths.
